Answer:
5(x-5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Both terms, 5x and -25, have something in common. This "something" is called the greatest common factor, or g.c.f.
The g.c.f. of 5x and -25 is 5, so we factor 5 out by dividing 5x and -25 by 5. Upon doing this we obtain
x-5
Now we need to put parentheses around x-5.
(x-5)
Next, we put 5 outside the parentheses.
5(x-5)
